DVOA is the recipient of this year's MidAtlantic Orienteering Broken Compass Award by virtue of some stellar performances by people making the hike to Hammond Rocks and the SVO hosted event.  The Ahlswede family has the newly minted plaque (the old award could not be located) and it will be on display at the winter meeting.

Congratulations to everyone that made this possible.  Sorry to have missed it but was at the wonderful wedding of Sergei and Kseniya in northern NJ as was a number of other orienteers.

I have a blue North Face tech fabric tee shirt that was left behind in the pavilion at the snack area.

If it belongs to anyone from DVOA let me know and I'll get it back to you.

It was good to get back on the Hammonds Rock map.  I went up and crawled around on the rocks for some good views afterward.  now fess up.. anyone else have a sudden thought that they'd lost their epunch as they were approaching the flag?  I didn't realize I had developed an automatic "prepunch" procedure and I was still automatically doing it more than half way through the course.

Impressive!  Especially considering that DVOA was without the services of Vadim, Clem, Dasha, and Sergey, due to the aforementioned wedding.

DVOA has depth.  What was really neat was that QOC orgainized a bus (for at least the second year in a row).  What a great idea!

Anyone chartering a bus to the HVO dual on Nov 21? 

The parking lot at Lewis Morris is big enough for a few of them.
